The man in black did as he was told, removing his helmet to reveal a terrified face.
The bodyguard took out his phone, snapped a picture of his face, and immediately sent it to Jiang Dong.
Upon investigation, Jiang Dong immediately noticed something amiss!
"Master Zhan, something's not right..."
The computer screen showed a video call with Zhan Jingting, and bodyguards were also on live video with them at the arrest site.
"We've identified this person, and there's nothing wrong with it. He's an employee of the car wash!"
The bodyguards at the scene immediately demanded, "Who exactly are you?!"
"I..." The man was quite frightened. "I'm just a car washer. The owner of the motorcycle wash just now gave me two thousand yuan and asked me to ride his motorcycle around for a bit. What law did I break...?"
"Oh no!" Jiang Dong exclaimed in alarm. "The tracker must have been discovered, and we've been lured away from our base!"
"No rush," Zhan Jingting said calmly from behind his desk. "The person has already been caught."
"...Master Zhan, are you saying that the real man in black has been captured?"
"Yes, he's right in front of the car wash. Go and take him away for questioning."
"Yes!" Jiang Dong apologized, "I'm sorry, Master Zhan, it was my oversight that almost let them get away."
"We must always prepare for the worst. The worst outcome tonight is that he discovers the existence of the tracker."
Jiang Dong suddenly realized, "I understand now, that's why you arranged for someone else to go to the car wash, just in case this worst-case scenario happens."
......
The next day.
When Zhan Jingting arrived at the Dijin Group, Jiang Dong was already waiting at the entrance of the president's office. "Good morning, Master Zhan."
Zhan Jingting glanced at him, "Interrogated him all night without sleeping?"
"......yes."
"Didn't you get a single valuable clue?"
"...Yes, but how did you know?"
"If you had any clues, you wouldn't have that sour face."
Jiang Dong: "......"
"Master Zhan, I interrogated him all night, but he's too tight-lipped; he didn't say a single word."
"Have you checked their identity?"
"I checked. He's Chinese, 27 years old, orphaned, grew up in an orphanage, and was considered an excellent student from a young age. He went to Australia as an exchange student during university and stayed there after graduation, working at a bank. But he resigned a year ago and has had no employment record since."
"I don't recall ever knowing such a person," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "But he was just an assistant, not the mastermind, so it's not surprising that I don't know him."
"Yes, but he seemed very loyal to the people behind him. I did use torture, but he was like a mute, not uttering a single sound. I also thoroughly examined his phone, but found no clues."
"Let it sit for now, I'll go see it later."
"yes."
......
What Zhan Jingting didn't expect was that something bad would happen before he could even go there in person.
Qiao Wanwan called, extremely anxious, "Jingting, something happened to Zaozao!"
"What happened?"
"She went to reshoot her scenes today and disappeared while changing clothes in the dressing room!"
"Wanwan, don't panic," Zhan Jingting comforted her. "Tell me slowly what happened."
Qiao Wanwan tried to calm herself down and said, "Because it was only a one-day reshoot, my assistant had gone on vacation a couple of days earlier and we didn't call her back, so no one accompanied me when I went into the dressing room."
"The bodyguard waited outside, but after a long time no one came out, so he asked a female staff member on site to go in and check. The staff member said there was no one inside at all!"
"The person was probably taken away through the window. That window had security bars, so it was impossible to get out. That's why the bodyguards weren't guarding the window. They went to check and found that the security bars had been broken at some point, so it was possible to get in and out!"
Zhan Jingting frowned. "Those five people have been under our surveillance. They didn't leave the unfinished building today to kidnap Zaozao. It seems he has more than just these five people."
"Jingting, will Zaozao be alright?"
"Probably not," Zhan Jingting said. "His main target is us. If it's bad for Zaozao, although you'll be very upset, it won't be enough to torment us. But once people are in his hands, they'll naturally have some use. Wanwan, don't worry, his men were captured last night. I'll go meet them now."
"Um."
......
When Zhan Jingting arrived at the place of detention, the bodyguards immediately came up to him, "Master Zhan."
How is he?
“Assistant Jiang really went all out, and he was seriously injured, but we have already treated him, and he is fine.” The bodyguard nodded and said, “Master Zhan, this is a tough nut to crack; he didn’t utter a single word.”
Zhan Jingting arrived at the detention cell, where a man was chained to a chair and unable to move.
The man didn't have an ordinary, average-looking face; in fact, he possessed a rather refined and gentle demeanor.
Zhan Jingting sat down on the sofa opposite him.
Hearing the noise, the man in the chair slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Zhan Jingting, you've finally arrived."
His voice wasn't as cold as it was in the abandoned building; he must have been deliberately lowering it then.
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "It seems you've been waiting for me for a long time."
"I just thought you would come to me first and ask me something." The man showed no fear, but rather a sense of relief upon seeing Zhan Jingting. "I have to admit, you are a very admirable opponent; you were able to catch me even with this."
